The Pursuit of Awesome with Charlie Harary

Charlie Harary discusses self-improvement. Feeling "I'm not enough" is accurate and it's a critical part of the growth process. If we don't fall down and get back up, if we don't face challenges and go through our walls, we won't grow and be truly satisfied with life.
